Finmeccanica SpA (FNC IM) added 2.4 percent to 9.37 euros,
the highest price in two months. Fidentiis Equities SV SA said
in a note there is “good news flow on the order side.” The
brokerage also said that the “next supportive news flow could
come from the disposal of a minority stake in Ansaldo Energia,
expected in the first half of this year.”

Lottomatica SpA (LTO IM) advanced 6.8 percent to 10.08
euros, snapping two days of losses. Equita Sim SpA reiterated
its “buy” recommendation on the manager of the Italian
government’s lottery game. On Jan. 14, the U.S. state of
Illinois rejected Camelot Group Plc and Intralot SA’s attempts
to stop a group led by Lottomatica from winning Illinois’s
lottery tender.

“This was the last obstacle for the definitive award of
the Illinois contract,” Equita said.

Luxottica SpA (LUX IM) ended three days of declines, rising
2.7 percent to 23.49 euros. The owner of the Ray-Ban and Oakley
sunglasses brands was upgraded to “buy” from “hold” at
Centrobanca SpA, which cited “organic growth coupled with
strong operating leverage.”

STMicroelectronics NV (STM IM) gained for a second day,
adding 4.3 percent to 9.13 euros. Europe’s largest semiconductor
maker had its price estimate lifted to 11 euros from 8 euros at
Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
